Im just saying that if someone sees it differently or has a different interpretation, they aren't necessarily racist.

But if their incorrect assessment of history furthers a racist agenda towards the future of America, one can call the assessment racism.
A person may not be racist. But if they do racist things, and they refuse to correct those things once it is pointed out, then what conclusion can be drawn?
Hmm, I guess I don't follow. Racism is defined as prejudice against someone of another race. I don't see how a person's assessment can be racist if it had nothing to do with any sort of prejudice against another race.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
